Where to Stay: From Cozy Pensions to Wine Resorts
Agancsos Pension spans two floors with six guest rooms, all with bathrooms, TV, safe, and minibar, plus Wi‑Fi. Three rooms can take extra beds, and one is accessible for guests with reduced mobility. Breakfast is included, with dinner and wine tastings on request.
Anonim Guesthouse sits on Church Hill (Templom-hegy) in one of Villány’s quietest pockets, right by a protected nature reserve on the former site of the Teleki mansion. It’s a fully detached building with two separate apartments, rentable together or separately, tucked in a leafy zone near downtown.
Blum Cellar – Wine Bar Guesthouse stands on the famed cellar row. It has an easy Mediterranean vibe and is a favorite for families and friend groups. The Blum cellars in Villánykövesd and Villány welcome solo visitors and groups year-round looking to discover the Villány–Siklós Wine Region’s best bottles and local gastronomy. Tastings are held only at their Villánykövesd winery, where a new oven terrace can even turn out a whole roast pig on site.
Bock Winery invites you into its cellar system to taste well-known labels and peek into the craft of winemaking. Next door, the Bock Óbor Restaurant completes the gastronomic circle with something for everyone, while the Bock Hotel Ermitage**** in the heart of Villány offers quality rest for fans of wine culture, cuisine, and wellness.
Guesthouses near the wine cellars also offer great views with an easy stroll to tastings. In the center of the wine region, Crocus Gere Wine Hotel Resort & Wine Spa pairs wellness facilities with standout wines for a fully switched-off escape.
Some stays come in doubles: one guest wing features two separate four-person units, each with two twin rooms, a bathroom, and a dining area. The shaded grassy yard is set up for grilling, bacon over the fire, car parking, sunbathing, and relaxing. You can taste and buy house wines on site or at the family’s cellar on the row. Expect friendly hosts and a generous continental breakfast included in the rate. Note: adult-friendly, no pets.
Diófa Pension is right in downtown Villány, tucked in a quiet courtyard, blending wine country charm with modern comfort. Eckhardt House also sits in the center a short walk from the main cellar row, offering seven air-conditioned double rooms (extra beds available), each with its own shower, toilet, TV, and fridge. A communal room for 20 hosts group gatherings, there’s a cooking option on request, a swing for kids, and secure courtyard parking.
Prefer rustic? A traditional corridor-style farmhouse pension opens rooms directly onto the veranda. There are six double rooms for up to 12 guests, plus a new three-room apartment house for six more. It’s dog-friendly, with enclosed yard parking on site.
Where to Sip: Bars, Cellars, and Organic Stars
The 7773 is an upscale wine bar on the Villány Wine Route, laser-focused on quality. The team curates the best wines from the region’s top grape varieties, all tasted and selected by experts. Beyond glasses, the venue specializes in events: themed evenings, weddings, family gatherings, business meetings, and conferences.
Agancsos isn’t just a pension—it’s a family winery named for a love of nature and hunting. Farming six hectares, they produce olaszrizling, portugieser, kékfrankos, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, and pinot noir. On the historic cellar row, their converted press house serves house-made cold platters and game dishes, and can host groups up to 50 with live music on request.
Péter Bakonyi & Josef Kerl cultivate organic vineyards across five hectares in Siklós and Nagytótfalu. Tastings for individuals and groups are held at their Villány cellar with advance booking.
The Villány Wine Order, founded in 1988, champions the reputation of Villány wines, nurtures traditions, and rallies fans to celebrate the unique pleasure these wines deliver.
Teleki’s legacy runs deep: the winery founded by legendary Hungarian viticulturist Zsigmond Teleki keeps his spirit alive in long-term goals and daily work. The wine shop is open to visitors; cellar tours are by prior arrangement.
Two Dolium cellars await in Villány. One sits on the atmospheric Baross Gábor Street cellar row with space for 25. The second is a traditional show cellar built high on Church Hill (Templom-hegy) with sweeping views, ready for groups up to 50 with tastings and wine dinners.
At Gere Attila Family Winery, compromise isn’t on the menu. Since 2010, the entire estate has been farmed organically, yielding high-quality, healthy, chemical-free, nutrient-rich grapes—the bedrock of their wines.
Mark the Dates, Then Double-Check
Villány’s calendar is stacked, from farmers’ markets and festive winter traditions like St. Vincent’s Day to summer’s Rosé Festival and the Rosé Marathon, plus September’s Swabian Music Weekend. Theater hits the stage in April with Happy Birthday! or Six in Pajamas at the Cultural House. Most events take place at the Villány Event Square—and the organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs.
